Well it was a bit difficult to set a white point. The K-5II has a tendency to under expose with long manual lenses, and the Kalimar Mirror Telephoto is by it's very nature fairly low contrast, and so was the day, what would be described as cloudy bright conditions, but really not so bright. Punching up the contrast and exposure something had to give so I chose the water. There is still some detail visible in the water on my monitor, but not much once the image is reduced from full resolution to reasonable internet size. I'm just amazed that a lens that probably had a list price of under $100.00 when new resolves as much detail as it does.

I've been looking through my files for a good example or even a bad example of leading lines, still haven't found one, it's been pretty much lousy weather for photography when I've had the time, and beautiful when I haven't. Still haven't found one. However while looking I did find this shot of the lost Little Blue Heron from last year.
